Welcome to Spey Creek Trophy Hunting

Come hunt with us in beautiful New Zealand! We’ve been all over the world, but when we hunted in Kaikoura, we loved it so much, we bought the ranch! Now we want to share it with you.

At Spey Creek, you’ll find that quality and customer service are our number one objectives. For that reason, we choose not to accommodate a large number of hunters each year.

Our luxury lodge is located in the hunting area and you will find the four bedrooms, complete with luxury linens, king beds and private tiled bathrooms, a welcome release after your days hunting adventure. Daily sightings of animals from your lodge windows offer a special treat, especially for a non-hunter.

We are proud of our zero waste policy and sustainable environmental practices. The lodge was built with timber milled on our Spey Creek property and it operates solely on alternative power sources and is not connected to the National Grid system.

Every meal at Spey Creek Trophy Hunting Lodge is carefully prepared on site with fresh, local produce. Through-out the day you will feast on lodge made breads, cookies and other delights. In the evening enjoy the mouthwatering

flavors of ‘estate to plate’ succulent, healthy and sometimes ‘a little wild’ food, accompanied by a great selection of local wines and beers. We like to showcase South Pacific cuisine, and where possible, source local organic food.

We have thousands of acres of land to hunt and unlimited trophies. Our guests are all impressed with the abundance and quality of the game they see, along with the spectacular views and terrain!

We invite you to come hunt with our amazing team, and join our growing Spey Creek Hunting family.

Give us a call today and book your hunt ‘down under’. You’ll be glad you did!

Good hunting, John and Neroli McBride

Red StagIntroduced to New Zealand by the British more than 150 years ago, red stag are revered for their majestic beauty and are among the noblest creatures a hunter will ever encounter. The largest stags in the world come from New Zealand!

These beautiful antlered trophy animals can be found roaming our 3,000-acre ranch, where we believe you’ll find the best selection in New Zealand. At Spey Creek, we can accommodate a hunt that will bring you a representative red stag, or a top-ten SCI stag.

Spey Creek hunters have held the record for the largest stags shot with any weapon for the past several years. Our guests have taken many top 10 animals in all four weapon categories.

Fall begins around the end of February in New Zealand. The rut starts around mid-February, running through mid-April, when you’ll hear the stags roaring and the elk bugling. Although it is fun to experience the stags roaring, there is an abundance of game to choose from year round.

Your hunting adventure will be as regal and memorable as the red stag you came to hunt! Hunting is a personal adventure, and at Spey Creek we design the hunt to match our hunter’s preference and ability. We accommodate hunters of any age and experience level!

Most hunting is done using the spot-and-stalk method, with the latest model four-wheel drive vehicles, quads and/or hiking. We also offer hunters the opportunity to bow, rifle or muzzle loader hunt, as well as the option to hunt from a blind.

Our individual guide service at Spey Creek provides the big game hunter with strictly private land hunts, so each hunter receives the time and guidance they need for a successful hunt. At Spey Creek, the hunt is about you, and what YOU want.

Rick and RegiCalifornia

Every year at Spey Creek we have a hunter that touches our hearts. Not long ago, it was Rick who lost his eyesight in a motorcycle accident. He had to give up a lot of things in life but with a supportive wife, the help of his best friend, and today’s technology, he took home a 500 class stag in 2014!

Spey Creek is honored to work with Hunt of a Lifetime to make kids’ dreams come true. We were blessed to be able to help Rebecca fulfill her dream of shooting a beautiful red stag along side the legend Phil Phillips.

TahrThe snow-capped mountains of New Zealand are a trophy hunter’s paradise; here you will find such treasures as the shaggy-mane tahr. No animal is as fleet of foot or death-defying!

Hunting tahr requires a drive to the high country and then a hike by foot or a ride with our helicopter pilot for hunters who are less inclined to hike to the ridge top.

A hunter traveling on foot will find that this is not a hunt for the faint of heart, but rather, a strenuous mountain climbing ordeal. These beautiful animals live in the mountain ranges above 2,000-feet. But our 100% success rate for hunting tahr should give you confidence that you will come home with a truly magnificent trophy!

Rut for tahr is mid-May to July, just as winter is setting on the mountains of New Zealand.

26

ChamoisA goat-antelope species, chamois are small, nimble animals with sharp senses and exceptional eyesight, so planning a perfect stalk is essential.

Chamois pelts are at their best from April to August, when they’re rich with winter colors – a luxurious black with white facial features. From December to February, you’ll find chamois in their summer color, an attractive fawn tan.

At Spey Creek, you have the opportunity to hunt chamois on more than 80,000 acres of private land in the KK mountain ranges which offers the best chamois hunting in New Zealand. You will be guided by experienced hunters who have an eye for locating them. They may be hunted by foot or with hellicopter, whether they’re perched high in the rocks or sprinting on the grassy hillsides.

27

“Thank you isn’t saying enough. I am sure you get reminded often that you have a first class operation running, but I’ll say it once more! Not only one of the top hunts ever, if not the top, but one of the all-time greatest experiences of my life! Thank you all so much.”

Fallow DeerFallow deer are one of the most beautiful and popular exotic species of deer and yield fine table venison.

The most distinctive features of the fallow deer is the males broad, flatten antlers, resembling a hand with widespread fingers pointing backwards. The coloring of the fallow deer varies between white and black, following four main patterns: White, menil

(a light brown coat with bright white spots), common or ginger (rich brown with white specks on the back and flanks and a black strip) and black.

A large fallow buck weighs around 150 pounds and when in rut, is an extremely aggressive animal, making a great hunting conquest.

29

“Thank you all so much for not only the amazing trip and experience but for the support and friendship you give Wes and our family all year. You are family!” ”

Wes and Jesika

“Thanks again Spey Creek Team (3rd trip!). You guys never cease to amaze us with your ranch, hospitality, food and great hunting! We’ve been many places but Spey Creek is TOPS! See you next time!”

Jim and DebbieTexas

“Thank you for the experience of a lifetime. You run a first class operation from hunting to eating all the great food. Everybody needs to go tahr hunting. The plane and heli ride were fantastic. I enjoyed shooting a fallow at 850 yards and an Elk at 650. I had a fantastic time.”

Walton Texas

30

ElkIntroduced to New Zealand in 1905 as a gift from U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt, elk, also known as “wapiti,” are one of the largest species of deer in the world.

Bulls weigh an average of 700 pounds with antlers up to 4-feet long and weighing 40 pounds, making excellent trophies and yielding lots of lean meat that’s high in protein. At Spey

Creek you’ll see bulls ranging from 280 SCI to one that score 400+ SCI.

Elk are similar to red stag, as they are both in rut from mid-March to the end of April. At this time of year, you’ll hear bulls bugling and see them rounding up a harem of females. An aggressive male in a rut is an exciting conquest for hunters at Spey Creek!

31

“We are going to remember this trip for decades when looking at our trophies and it will always bring back marvellous memories of a perfect outfit and most importantly of a 5 star team. Your professionalism and dedication were only surpassed by your friendship to Caroline and I and your extreme kindness to our 3 young boys. The best of the best! A thousand thanks again”

Luc, Caroline, one shot Elliot, cowboy western Noah and IsacTexas

“This has been absolutely the best week and experience and I cannot wait to hunt again. Not only do you have monster animals and beautiful property, you have great people and unbelievable food.”

New Zealand is known as “the land of the long white cloud” and at Spey Creek we are able to experience the beauty and wonder of the New Zealand maritime climate on a daily basis. Climbing high above the clouds to capture breath-taking views, then descending to sunshine and majestic animals.

34

Arapawa RamsThe Arapawa is a breed of feral sheep, unique to the South Pacific. This black-faced ram runs wild in the hills of New Zealand and its extreme wariness makes it a challenging hunt. Ewes have no horns, but rams have long spiral horns that often measure over three feet. Mature rams have a full curl and make for a handsome trophy to add to your collection.

Due to living in a rather hostile and very steep terrain, this breed often looks hunched over as

they carry their head and tail down most often. They have a light build and long legs making them a rather active breed.

Most often, the Arapawa displays all black. However, quite often, white points are displayed. On rare occasions, an all-white sheep can be observed. “Cocktail” Arapawas are those that are white spotted.

35

Goats, Hogs & Possums ferAL GOATsAt Spey Creek you will see billy goats in a variety of colors: white, black, brown, grey and ginger, although a combination of these colors is most common. They typically run in herds with one or two big billies per herd.

WILd hOGsA full-sized wild boar is a large, strong animal armed with sharp tusks and defends itself strongly, so hunting one has often been a test of bravery. Wild boars are currently hunted for

both their meat and to mitigate the damage they cause to crops and pastures as well of course being a great trophy!

neW ZeALAnd POssumThe possum is considered a pest in New Zealand and is hunted for both its soft pelts (used for clothing manufacturer) as well as pest control. (The possums do great damage to the native bush.) For a little evening entertainment, we enjoy taking out the spotlight and a .22 magnum to harvest another animal for your New Zealand adventure.

36

FISHINGNew Zealand is home to some of the best fly and deep sea fishing in the world. Finish your hunting experience with Spey Creek on the mighty Pacific Ocean at Kaikoura or amongst the hills on a beautiful crystal clear mountain stream where you can stalk and cast to catch ‘the big one.’

except frequenting the pastures and stock ponds of its native region. British explorer and navigator Captain James Cook referred to this species as the “painted duck!”

Duck season in New Zealand begins each year on the first Saturday in May and runs until July. Spey Creek offers hunters excellent opportunities to shoot black swans, mallards, Canadian geese and paradise ducks.

38

From Spey Creek’s breath-taking location, the adventures are limitless! National Geographic calls Kaikoura the “Serengeti of the Ocean.”

Close by is the beautiful seaside township of Kaikoura and the inland thermal pool haven of Hanmer Springs where there are many activities available to enhance your New Zealand stay. Venture into the sea for surfing and swimming with dolphins, whale watching, deep sea fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling, or take in all the land has to offer with activities like bird shooting, golf, bungee jumping, horseback riding, Maori cultural tours, art galleries,

thermal pools or sampling wine at world-renowned wineries. Take a helicopter to fly to the ranch, visit a winery, or to visit the health spa!
